4 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Read and understand tool labels and all of the operating instructions, safety precautions and warnings in this manual before operating or maintaining this stunner. Failure to follow warnings could result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY. Most accidents that result from the operation and maintenance of Stunners are caused by the failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs, and by observing appropriate safety procedures. Basic safety precautions are outlined in the SAFETY section of this Manual and in the sections which contain the operation and maintenance instructions. Hazards that must be avoided to prevent bodily injury or machine damage are identified by DANGERS and S on the Stunner and in this Manual. Never use this Stunner for applications other than those specified in this Manual. DEFINITIONS OF SIGNAL WORDS DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or may cause machine damage. NOTE emphasizes essential information. EXPLANATION OF THE STUNNER ACTION 0 This tool has a FULL SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM. First, press the activator against the subject; next, pull the trigger to actuate the bolt. Follow the same sequence to continue bolt actuation. 4
